Planned for later
The schema which will be used here is as follows:
- Obtain an old lawnmower frame, 24" to 32" size will do fine.
- Remove the gas engine.
- Obtain a flat or pancake type 12 or 24 volt DC electric motor, about 700 to 1,000 watts and mount in place of the gas engine.
-
- Obtain solar cell panel, either round or square the size of the mower frame to be mounted over the top of the electric motor and other equipment
- Obtain a SOFC stack with output to match the DC motor voltage and amperage requirements.
- Obtain three pressure tanks, one suitable for high pressure hydrogen, one for high pressure oxygen and one designed for hydrolysis of water.
- Obtain one or two 12 volt lead acid batteries
- Obtain misc. equipment, gauges, tubing, wiring, control valves, etc.
The mower will be self charging via the solar cells used to disassociate water in a closed system, storing hydrogen and oxygen for use in the solid oxide full cell to operate the mower, with the lead acid battery for back-up power. The mower is designed to remain outdoors in the sun for charging.
